First let me say I have tried lots of beds for my dog and she hasnt been jazzed by any of them but this one was a hit out of the ball park!
I have this on my bed for her to sleep in it.....That she can cuddle under the top is heaven to a dog who prior to this would try and crawl up my pajamas everynight. I guess that makes it heaven to me too :)

Its nice and soft and cuddly - lots of cushioning.... Its probably the thing I bought for my little Ginger that she actually likes more than I do!

My Burmese kitten loves her little black Petmate Burrow Bed - it's relatively "flat" and hooded, so she can stretch out of the opening, or curl up against the hooded area as she pleases. At first I was a little concerned about the construction of the bed, because when she would cuddle into a corner of the bed, the bed would "tilt" and leave her in a bizarre angle (as the mattress area is fluffy and round)! But the more she sleeps on it, the more the padding compresses down, and now this is no longer a problem. Furthermore - the entire lining (hood and cushion cover) is removable and washable. Very nicely constructed, and highly recommended.

We ordered this bed for our miniature dachshund. She was very interested in it but, every time she crawled in, it would tip over when she got to the back to turn around. The sides were just too rounded and she couldn't get out without help.

I was a little nervous about ordering this due to a couple of reviews that said this bed tends to topple over, but I am so happy that I ordered it anyway. The minute I took it out of the box, my dachshund dove right in, which says a lot considering he only thought of his last bed as a demolition project. He has even traded in his favorite spot on the back of my couch for this cozy little bed. Anyone who has a dachshund knows how they love to burrow, and whoever came up with this idea hit the nail on the head. Kudos PetMate Burrow Bed--my dog loves you for being just what he wanted, and I love you for saving my couch.
UPDATE March 2011: Wanted to add a review on the bed's durability. I've had it for 3-1/2 years now, and have washed (in washing machine)/dried it a few times. It has held up great. My dog rarely asks to get in bed with me any more....he still loves his burrow bed!

I'm EXTREMELY pleased with this bed, so much so that we ordered a second one (as we have a large house). We have a little three-pound chihuahua, Pip. The minute he saw this bed, he climbed in and made himself at home. He loves to go inside to rest and just have a little sanctuary away from the "busy world." The bed is very light weight and easy to tote around from room to room. The top is very soft and collapses down to serve as a cover for your pet. It's so snuggly and warm. My only regret is that I'm not small enough or I'd crawl in and burrow down with Pip, too!

The cover doesn't really keep my Italian Greyhound warm because it doesn't cover him completely. He's happier with a small blanket thrown over his old bed that he can burrow under or "paw at" and arrange to his satisfcation. Also, the bed has a fleece lining that leaves "fuzzzies" all over the room. I think the bed is better for a very tiny pet.

My 10 lb toy fox terrier loves to burrow under things, especially in the winter. When I took it out of the box, he immediately went crazy for it. I can move it anywhere in the house, and he will burrow inside. I love the fact that you can reach in and unzip it before throwing it in the wash. I would definitely recommend it. It also fits into his small sized crate snugly.

A truly wonderful, yummy bed for my Chihuahua. It does tend to tilt towards the back or side where ever she lays as someone else mentioned, but it is not really a problem because the padding is thick enough. Perhaps the word tilt is not right because you don't see the bed sideways or anything, it is more like she "sinks" in it. Overall I am happy and she is super comfortable. There is room for her and her favorite toys. She will lay in it for hours and doesn't even ask me to bring her up onto my bed. I recommend this bed especially for cold days. You don't have to worry about making sure your baby uncovers her/himself if you use a blanket which is my concern because they can't cover themselves back up and even sweaters won't protect certain parts but in this cave bed they just go in it and cozy up. It is real fuzzy and padded. Sincerely, Someone who believes that dogs are better than most people...sorry, humans.

I have 3 small dogs, sized 12-20 lbs. They had taken over the couch. So I decided to purchase 3 of these beds and added a small dog heater to each one. The first bed came, and before the heater was added, 2 dogs were sleeping in it together, one inside and the small one on top. The other two beds soon arrived along, with heaters and all 3 are sleeping happily in them. They lay in them in the day and the couch is now free for the rest of the family. No more ugly, smelly dog blankets on the furniture and 3 toasty little bed bugs happy in their new digs.

So many have given the Pet Burrow raves reviews that I violated my own policy of never buying anything on the web for the Lords of All Dogdom wthout first seeing it. That will teach me...

Sparky, our Japanese Chin, who is very cat like in many other ways, could not figure out how to burrow in his burrow. Ollie, the Shih Tzu, would not even step into the burrow.

When I tried to help them, they jumped out as quickly as they could. I gave it another try, and when the flap fell over I moved the two burrows down to my basement office.

Perhaps I have mutant dogs, but the only use I can envision for these is as "regifted" items for my friends who have cats.
